it in great convenience, the purchaser
after all made to pay for this extra expense
tailed upon the dealer. The merchant was obliged to
charge per cent. his merchandise to make
up his loss Now believe that there has been. by
this method of doing business, injustice done to
those patrons who delivered their goods and to
up matters we have from this date discontinued
the free delivery system. Our delivery wagons cost
us. in round figures. SIS. 900 per annum. This we
propose to give to our patrons, and while we have
heretofore sold from 10 to 20 per cent. less than
competitors we inaugurate another cut by chopping
off all goods additional 10 to Is per cent. In
order that patrons may have their goods delivered
promptly
A Ien-Csnt Delivery Transfer Company
Has been established with an Office in our store.
Packages and goods will be delivered to any part of
the city for 10 cents.
AS illustration of the saving to our patrons by
this method, we cite few facts:
Sugars that sold by US prior to this date a. 1s
pounds for ST. we now sell 20 pounds for ST..
Coffee which we heretofore sold at 20 cents rer
pound, or pounds for 81, sell at 16 90
cents per pound. of pounds for 81
Flour which we have heretofore sold at 81 35 per
barrel we now sell at 81. 20 per barrel.
Thus you will that these three articles alone
there is saving of AZ % cents by delivering your
OWE goods.
And so it goes all the way through the list.
Now, don't como to the store and say, "Why don't
you deliver goods free' But when you come, remem-
Der that you save three times the cost of delivering
your own goods in the low prices we give you.
Here is the way we chop down the prices to com
mence with. Read and be convinced that tho new
way is the best:
Is TBS confectioners' A sugar 81.
IS TBS standard granulated sugar. 81.
20 tbs soft A sugar. 81.
